I like this game, being a fan of Battlefront as well. One of the things that makes Battlefront to appealing is that custom maps can be played. I don't see any predefined way to load custom maps, so do you think custom maps will simply have to replace the stock maps?

Until LEC/Pandemic do something about it. I think they will eventually.

The game as it shipped does not support add ons so until a patch comes out that allows you to add maps you will have to replace existing files.

The few times Pandemic devs have spoke, they have mentioned they are working on a patch and a tools release. That was two weeks ago tomorrow. We just have to wait and see.

Probably he means this:

"Lastly, this list is not final nor is this the only update we will do. There are some other changes still to come after this first big update is released. "

No the games have not ended. :) I just have other responsibilities I am working on. Like considering potential downloadable content and what we'll need to release the tools for the mod community. Not to mention I get A LOT of feedback so I have to balance my time. -spytle-

a New Hope....or a long wait ,hehe

Map and modding tools will not be part of the patches. They will be released as a separate package(s) when they are ready and maybe even in phases.

In any case, this game needs to be fully moddable before interest is lost , I know the folks like myself will be around but with how hacky editing the game is now the general modders/and younger players (which swbf def. has alot of) for games like BF1942 will have to wait a long time for the drag n drop editor.

I'm thankful for this community that has pulled together to share content and file information so we all can benefit with usable tools and the end result of SWBF being modded and more how each us would like to see it made!
